Starting my Whipple project

F419sr1 · 05-10-2019, 03:49 PM

Tonight Im starting the install of the 2.9 whipple on my 17 ZL1. Does any one have advice on any stumbling blocks they ran into when doing theirs? Advice anything that may make the install go smooth. I did search and nothing on a step by step install

The difference from stock to the whipple

Those are interesting pics. Please provide more as you proceed. Thanks

Significant difference there.

What brand throttle body is that? I have a whippled zl1 and want to swap to a (black) 103mm tb.

Did this with a Roush SC 727hp on my 2016 Mustang GT. Took me 15 hours taking my time. Dealer wanted 16 hours labor lol. Tune sucked from Roush, and I wish I went with a whipple. Anyway, hope this works out. Let us know how long it takes you to install. Nice pics!

Right on dude !!!! Glad to see someone tackling this in their garage and putting up pics as they go along. Keep the pics coming!!!!!

How are you addressing the refill of the supercharger coolant since the system is a closed system and it needs a special tool from GM to refill?

Took about 4 hours to get it all torn down. Most of it getting the bottom splash pan off to drain the coolant. Probably a easier way to do it. Started around 9:30 and I’m almost done. Had to run out for longer TB bolts.

By the way, are you doing a Catch can?
